Snow! A storm blew through on Sep 23/24 and left us with a coating of the white stuff. Pretty to look at. Cold to feel. Not fun to shovel.

The biography talk is complete...there's even a PowerPoint version of it, although I'm not found of PP. Now I will focus on updating my picture-books-with-older-readers talk. If anybody had told me when I left teaching and teacher-training to write full-time that I'd be spending a great deal of my effort on developing and delivering talks (as in public speaking), I'd have found another avenue to invest myself.
